Nuclear plant workers suffer internal radiation exposure after visiting Fukushima, Mainichi, May 21, 2011:
The government has discovered thousands of cases of workers at nuclear power plants outside Fukushima Prefecture suffering from internal exposure to radiation after they visited the prefecture, the head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said.
Most of the workers who had internal exposure to radiation visited Fukushima after the nuclear crisis broke out following the March 11 quake and tsunami, and apparently inhaled radioactive substances scattered by hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant. [...]
In 1,193 cases, workers had internal exposure to radiation of more than 10,000 cpm. Those workers had apparently returned to their homes near the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant or had moved to other nuclear power plants from the Fukushima No. 1 and 2 nuclear power plants. [...]

World industries have huge potential. It was not Tepco’s business anymore since first explosion. This is why I do attach this picture.

According to Michel Chussodovsky’s Global Research network (hope I spelled his name correctly), the MSM talking heads are trained CIA agents. If the U.S. has six million classified documents and the MSM is controlled by the CIA, do you believe we’ll be getting the truth anytime soon? They’re still reporting the 9/11 and Bin Laden baloney.
Domestic cats will inherit the earth! Humans are too stupid.

Here’s a shocker:
“Japan and Germany are abandoning nuclear power.
China has decided to abandon old, unsafe designs like Fukushima and many reactors used in the U.S., and to use safer designs.
And yet the U.S. – alone among the world’s largest economies – intends to go rogue … proposing loan guarantees of $36 billion dollars to re-start America’s love affair with nuclear energy and to build the first new nuclear reactors in decades.”

So is it the best idea to just send them home, will they not contaminate their families as well?

TEPCO measures radiation above reactor buildings
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is attempting to measure radiation levels directly above the Number 1 and 4 reactors.
Tokyo Electric Power Company wants to see how much radioactive material is still being released from the reactors 2 months after the disaster.
To take the measurements, it is using a small instrument attached to the arm of a crane pump that’s about 50 meters tall.
On Sunday afternoon, for about 20 minutes, the instrument measured radioactive substances in the air about 5 to 10 meters above the Number 1 reactor building. TEPCO will disclose the results of the analysis as early as Tuesday.
The area above the Number 4 reactor will be measured on Monday afternoon.
As part of TEPCO’s timetable to stabilize the situation at the plant, it plans to cover the reactor buildings with a type of polyester sheet to stop diffusion of radioactive substances into the air. It will use the latest measurement data to check the feasibility of the plan.

Fukushima Daiichi Radioactive Rubble Causes TEPCO to Set Up Laughable Safety Sign
Rare openly critical Japan news story on TEPCOs efforts…
*TEPCO safety measures at the tsunami damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant include putting up this crappy sign that says “Don’t step on the rubble you may be exposed to 1000 msv/hour.” The workers should feel much safer now.*

Great Eh! and what is supposed to happen if you are a few feet away – no ionising radiation?
I guess the site is being run by a Security Guard company now.
